At the moment we are discussing how we can better communicate with members of the MiCasa Facebook Community. Our aim is to create a non-intimidating conversational environment, for people who live in strata buildings to share their experience and knowledge with other strata residents.

Recently, we received a great suggestion from Jeremey (Victoria, BC), requesting better control of the MiCasa Community Board.

Jeremey’s suggestion, taken from his own experience using MiCasa, prompted us to re-assess how residential groups access information in the real world. The outcome of our re-assessment is an almost complete overhaul of the MiCasa User Permissions system. Continue Reading…

I took a sneak peek at the new MiCasa commenting feature yesterday and it looks awesome.

The commenting feature, encourages open discussion between residents, and includes a nifty notification feature so you’ll never miss a chance to contribute to a discussion in your strata again. Continue Reading…

As mentioned in my earlier article, Norm from Victoria, BC, was concerned about the security of his personal information while using MiCasa. As a result of my conversation with Norm, we decided to fast-track implementing HTTPS security on MiCasa. Continue Reading…
